Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is an innovative and flexible approach for treating various forms of cancer, enabling selective delivery of cytotoxic radiation to cancerous cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Although TRT has proven...
Accurate prediction of the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of nuclear fuels is essential for optimizing fuel performance and ensuring reactor safety. However, the experimental determination of ETC is often limited by cost and complexity, while h...
Based on lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast Tohoku Earthquake, and the subsequent tsunamis, Japanese utilities have been upgrading their tsunami countermeasures. To underst...
Lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE), while advantageous for advanced nuclear reactors due to its thermophysical properties, faces oxidation and corrosion challenges during operation. This study aims to optimize gas-phase oxygen control by computational...
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a radiotherapeutic modality which couples selective pharmacological delivery of 10B with irradiation by low-energy neutrons to achieve highly localized tumor cell killing. The BNCT therapeutic approach is under...
The structural integrity of nuclear graphite is paramount for the lifespan of High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors. The nuclear graphite components operate under extreme conditions involving high temperature, pressure, and intense neutron irradiation...
Fretting wear due to flow-induced vibration (FIV) remains a primary cause of fuel failure in light water nuclear reactors. In the study of axial FIV, i.e., FIV caused by axial flows, three vibration characteristics, namely natural frequency, damping...
The temperature fluctuations due to the mixing of two streams in a T-junction induce thermal stresses in the piping material, resulting in a pipe failure in Nuclear Power Plants. The numerical modeling of the thermal mixing in T-junctions is a challe...
Future fusion power plants require structural materials that can withstand extreme operating conditions, including high coolant outlet temperatures, mechanical loading, and radiation damage. Reduced-activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steels are a...
In recent decades, international interest has grown in the design and implementation of evolutionary reactors based on passive systems. The design of such systems requires reliable and validated numerical tools capable of simulating phenomena driven...
